my trading day ~ thursday 18th february ’10
Hello to you all, and I hope you are having a profitable week so far.
I fancied a nice early start today, and I was up early – showered and breakfasted – and in my study by 6:45am this morning. My plan was to trade my “Any-Time” system from now until 3pm – my youngest son is on his half-term break this week and I had promised him some Scalextric time this afternoon. The dads amongst you will understand !
Anyway – my first trade came along just after 7am (EUR/USD) and gave me an opening profit of +15 pips, and was closely followed by a EUR/YEN trade which was another winner, giving me +20 pips this time. During the rest of the morning I completed another 3 trades and my total at just after 1pm stood at +77 pips.
Back at my desk at 2pm after a quick lunch, I had another 3 trades before I finished at just after 3pm – and my total for the daytime session was +127 pips – a nice end to my day-time sessions trading week (as I am now taking Fridays off)
I was back in front of the screens at 5pm to trade my Evening System (Trade With A Day Job) and my signal for the evening came up 15 mins later. As you know, I have a target on this system of +20 pips, but I had a few (noisy) friends in the room with me, and due to the distraction I was not fully concentrating on the chart – and my trade went over the target price I had drawn in and I closed the trade off late with some extra profit as the market was rising so rapidly – so my total for the evening session came in at +35 pips (instead of the usual +20 pips)
This fortunate occurrence meant that my total for the whole day was a profit of +162 pips – a healthy addition to my trading account at the end of the week.
